Lesson Three: Character Analysis and Plot Mapping
In this lesson, we will closely examine the characters and plot points in the novel to help you identify the types of characters in a story, their motivations, as well as the stages of a story.




Lesson four: The American Dream
In this lesson we will connect the elements of the modern idea of the American Dream to the ideas about the American Dream presented in the novel. You will be asked to make a video with the Imovie software as a culminating project on the Great Gatsby. You will need to use your research and previous assignments to complete this project.
